Frost Bros. was a high-fashion retail chain based in San Antonio. The retailer opened its first store in 1917 at 217 E. Houston Street and became known for quality, personal service. Frost filed for bankruptcy in April 1988, and its four remaining stores were liquidated in mid-1989. SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_Bros
